Bird control in Aberdeen is a commercial concern concentrated on the downtown buildings, the commercial corridors, and the agricultural structures where the pigeons and the starlings roost on the ledges and the signs. The rock doves (pigeons) are the primary species, and the grain elevators, the farm-supply stores, and the fields around the city add the agricultural dimension to the bird management. The professional bird deterrent uses the spikes, the netting, and the tensioned wire systems.

The Aberdeen bird species

  • Rock dove (pigeon) — the primary roosting bird on the commercial ledges, the signs, and the rooflines.
  • European starling — the large flocking bird that roosts on the signs and the building facades.
  • House sparrow — the small bird that nests in the gaps and the voids of the building architecture.
  • Ring-billed gull — the seasonal visitor around the fields and the edge of town.

Where the birds are in Aberdeen

  • The downtown buildings and the commercial corridors — the pigeons on the ledges, the signs, and the rooflines.
  • The grain elevators and the farm-supply stores — the pigeons and the starlings around the feed and the storage.
  • The shopping centers and the strip malls — the starlings and the sparrows on the sign ledges.
  • The restaurants and the food service areas — the starlings follow the food waste.
  • The agricultural buildings — the pigeons and the starlings around the storage and the equipment.

How bird control works

  1. Inspection. The technician identifies the species, the roosting sites, the entry points, and the traffic patterns.
  2. Deterrent selection. The spikes, the netting, the wire system, or the gel deterrent is matched to the building.
  3. Installation. The deterrents are installed on the ledges, the signs, the rooflines, and the gaps.
  4. Clean-up. The accumulated droppings are removed and the surfaces are sanitized.
  5. Monitoring. The annual inspection checks the deterrents for the damage and the new roosting sites.

The agricultural factor

The grain elevators, the farm-supply stores, and the fields around Aberdeen attract the pigeons, the starlings, and the gulls, and the agricultural buildings need the deterrent systems and the waste management that the commercial buildings do. The bird management on the farm structures is different from the downtown work, and the spikes and the netting are matched to the storage and the equipment.

The pigeons on the commercial ledges in Aberdeen are not the problem that starts and ends with the spikes. The food waste from the restaurants and the open dumpsters keeps the population high. The building owner who installs the spikes and manages the waste is the one who actually solves the pigeon problem.

The agribusiness connection

The grain elevators and the farm-supply stores around Aberdeen attract the pigeons and the starlings, and the bird management on the agricultural structures is different from the downtown work. The spikes and the netting are matched to the storage and the equipment, and the waste management is part of the long-term plan. The businesses that handle the grain and the feed run the bird programs that keep the product clean and the roosting pressure down.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does bird control cost in Aberdeen?
A pigeon deterrent installation on the downtown buildings runs $500 to $2,500 depending on the roofline. The bird spikes start at $15 per foot, and the netting is quoted per square foot. The free inspection includes the species identification and the custom deterrent plan.
Which birds cause the most problems in Aberdeen?
The pigeons (rock doves) are the primary concern on the downtown buildings and the commercial corridors. The European starlings and the house sparrows are the secondary species that roost on the signs and the ledges, and the gulls are the seasonal concern at the edge of town.
Are the birds a health concern?
The bird droppings carry the histoplasmosis and the cryptococcosis risks, and the nests can harbor the bird mites that move into the building. The slip hazard from the accumulated droppings is also a liability concern for the commercial properties.
Do the bird spikes hurt the birds?
No. The bird spikes are the blunt, stainless steel or the plastic deterrents that make the ledge uncomfortable for the birds to land. They do not impale or injure the birds; they simply prevent the roosting.
Does the farm country add to the bird pressure?
It does. The grain elevators, the farm-supply stores, and the fields around the city attract the pigeons, the starlings, and the gulls, and the agricultural buildings need the deterrent systems and the waste management.
How long does the bird deterrent last?
The stainless steel spikes and the netting are the permanent installations with the 10-year or the longer lifespan. The wire systems are the low-maintenance, and the annual inspection is recommended.
